Obviously this is a winter shot from what we here in Vermont consider a city, it's a solid 3 or 4 blocks of this, too much congestion :) Anyway, I wanted to get thoughts on weather (intended) or not the vehicle in the middle of the frame ruined the shot, I like everything about this forum thus far...

When taking portrait photos of newborns against a black or white background (fabric), when editing the digital pictures, how can I easily make the background look solid where you don't see color variations & wrinkles in the fabrics? I want it to look like they're floating in a way! I'm...
